Minds Were Made Up Without Data

February 14, 2006|Ronald Silberg Boca Raton

Thank you, Anthony Man, for the article in Monday's paper about the county commissioners.

Perception is reality. I think all the commissioners are in need of being replaced as they have become a dysfunctional group that does not seem to be able to represent the interests of the people of the county. I have been a county resident for 22 years and have never seen such partisanship and self-serving behavior on the part of elected officials. They have used the model of the U.S. Congress.

I live in District 4 (Mary McCarty) and will vote for Minnie Mouse if that name is on the ballet in November. I wish your Editorial Board would call for countywide elections of representatives rather than individual districts.

These seven should have an open mind about Scripps, but minds are already made up as your paper already said. Addie Greene is the swing vote. They have not heard all the information, but it is north vs. south county and the mayor of West Palm says anywhere but Boca. Very nice!
